Here the viewer needs to consider the Moodle interface being shown is from an earlier version and relates to the main Settings in the current Moodle interface - now shown on the top of module site as a cog wheel (by the ‘Turn Editing on’ button). Also, the module navigation template is slightly different in appearance but items more or less correspond to the current Moodle interface.
Also, at the end of the video the Moodle Help indicated now reads ‘Moodle Staff Help’ and can be found at bottom of the weekly units.
